GridifyGlobalConfiguration ​

Using this class, you can change the default behavior and configuration of the Gridify library.

General configurations ​

DefaultPageSize ​

The default page size for the paging methods when no page size is specified.

  • type: int
  • default: 20

CaseSensitiveMapper ​

By default mappings are case insensitive. For example, name=John and Name=John are considered equal. You can change this behavior by setting this property to true.

AllowNullSearch ​

This option enables the null keyword in filtering operations. For example, name=null searches for all records with a null value for the name field, not the string "null". If you need to search for the literal string "null", disable this option.

IgnoreNotMappedFields ​

If true, Gridify doesn't throw exceptions during filtering and ordering operations when a mapping is not defined for the given field.

DisableNullChecks ​

By default, Gridify adds null-checking conditions on nested collections to prevent null reference exceptions, e.g., () => field != null && field....

Some ORMs like NHibernate don't support this. You can disable this behavior by setting this option to true.

  • type: bool
  • default: false

AvoidNullReference ​

This option allows intermediate objects to be null.

For example, in obj.PropA.PropB, PropA can be null.

This configuration is specific to properties and was introduced after DisableNullChecks.

  • type: bool
  • default: false

CaseInsensitiveFiltering ​

If true, string comparison operations are case insensitive by default.

  • type: bool
  • default: false

DefaultDateTimeKind ​

By default, Gridify uses the DateTimeKind.Unspecified when parsing dates. You can change this behavior by setting this property to DateTimeKind.Utc or DateTimeKind.Local. This option is useful when you want to use Gridify with a database that requires a specific DateTimeKind, for example when using npgsql and postgresql.

  • type: DateTimeKind
  • default: null

CustomOperators ​

Using the Register method of this property you can add your own custom operators.
